"Post Son Heung-min" Bae Jun-ho and "One Top Eye Stamp" Oh Se-hoon...the hope of the final round

[Anchor]
The national soccer team, which is close to advancing to the World Cup finals for the 11th consecutive time, has gone through a long qualifying round until the match against Kuwait, and the skills of newcomers are also remarkably improving.

Bae Joon-ho, who will replace Son Heung-min, and Oh Se-hoon, who will solve the famine of front-line strikers, are representative.

Reporter Lee Dae-gun's report.

Bae Jun-ho took the ground instead of Son Heung-min in an anxious 2-1 situation.

Hwang In-beom slightly breaks the ball that he stabbed from behind, beats the defender, and calmly shoots.

A wedge goal aimed at the cramped space between the left post and the goalkeeper.

The goal came 10 minutes after the replacement, which is an iconic scene that shows how much Bae Jun-ho, born in 2003, has grown.

In October's A-match, he recorded two assists to fill the vacancy of Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan.

Since joining the senior national team in June, we have been able to grow quickly thanks to the English professional football stage.

[Bae Jun-ho / Soccer team striker, Stoke City (A match last month): Playing in a league that is physically superior, I think it helped me adapt quickly even when I came to the senior national team, and I think it helped me to come to the national team because I gained a lot of confidence from my team.]

The first goal against Kuwait was Oh Se-hoon, a 193-cm-tall one-top.

Hwang In-beom crossed the net with a header after competing with a defender for a long pass from the right rear.

It's his A-match goal in a row.

He gave hope to the one-top famine-stricken national team by overcoming all competitions except once at the end of the second half of the day.

[Oh Se-hoon / Frontline striker of the national soccer team, Machida Zelvia (Last month's A-match): (The front-line striker) is a position where he has to play more than anyone, sacrifice more than anyone, and score in a lonelier position than anyone else, so I prepared well for that position..]

Victory over Kuwait is the result of the present and future combination of Korean soccer.

As we have to prepare for after the World Cup finals beyond advancing to the finals, attempts to change generations are bound to take place in the remaining qualifiers, including the match against Palestine.
